The print run for each card was supposedly 241. I remember shortly after the issue date that the set price quoted in the montly Beckett publication was $100,000--a dealer friend of mine and I thought it either had to have been a misprint, or enough collectors (speculators?) were out there with far more money than brains!
On second thought, buyers at that price then are probably the same guys who might jump at the BIN $50,000 Bowman Chrome Red Refractor Mike Trout rookie (1 of 2) recently seen on ebay. If Mike, who is indeed a very fine player, lives up to his potential and plays in similar fashion for another 15-20 years, that card still won't even begin to be worth that kind of dough!!!
Best wishes,
Larry
